In the play, the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes has seemingly reached the end of his remarkable career when a case presents itself that is too tempting to ignore.

With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his side, Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of opera singer Irene Adler. His exploits lead him to an encounter with his longtime adversary, Professor Moriarty. It is a mysterious excursion into the world logical reasoning, forensic science, and the keen acuity of disguise.
